The Holiday season is rapidly approaching and it’s time to spread cheer through the gift of giving. Lockport’s Jewel-Osco has partnered with Lockport VFW Post 5788 and American Legion John Olson Post 18 to help support veterans and their families in need. We are calling on you to help us make a difference.
Volunteers will be able to solicit donations at the store, 16625 W. 159th St., from now through the holiday season. Volunteers need not be members of the Posts. Post-affiliated and supported groups (Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts) are welcome to help and earn community service hours.
We are asking volunteers to work for an hour or as long as they desire. We can collect outside the entrances or in the store at the entrances or exits, during the store's business hours. Simply go to the Service Desk to pick up a donation can and return it to the desk for totaling. 100% of the donation will go to the VFW and Legion to purchase and distribute dinners to local veterans and their families. We are asking for $1, $5 and $10 tax-exempt donations, but any amount of donations are accepted.
Turkey Bucks will run through Thanksgiving and Jewel will continue with Ham Bucks until Christmas. Ham Bucks will operate on the same basics as Turkey Bucks.
Please volunteer a few hours of your time to assist in this heart-warming endeavor!
